A high stakes fleet of ships traveling without scouts, and with two dragons who don’t spot a hostile fleet of ships in the area.Remember when Jaime’s character development had more or less reached its final form and then they just decided he never actually developed?

Lots of talky talk, virtually none of it interesting or timely; zombie apocalypse is gonna be this season’s high point for sure.

I feel like they did Brienne dirty this ep? she deserved a little better in the writing than what ultimately boiled down to a teen cliché

I figured it was obvious that he was being vague and what he meant was that he was going back down there to kill Cersei...

make a ~0.5*kings_landing_size crossbow and destroy kings landing imo

*looks over the blueprints carefully*
yes, that will take 400 pieces of wood and 12 hours

so second to last episode is now a big dumb (physical) battle for kings landing, and then a final episode to say goodbye to everyone, i guess
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Monday, 6 May 2019 05:49 (five years ago) link
Final scene will be king/queen butt wiggling down into that throne to gasp chorus imo

just a real wigglefest after many bigger crossbows and the gasps the gasps will be deafening

Were Dany and friends going to King's Landing directly? I thought they were stopping by Dragonstone first?

at this point i'm mostly here in case they kill dany as that will hasten a more palatable endgame that does not involve forcing myself to watch emilia clarke sorta kinda almost act.

qyburn's big crossbow has proved genius in the end
― FernandoHierro, Monday, 6 May 2019 10:06 (five years ago) link
Tormund is the only good character on this show.
My favorite moment of the episode is Qyburn acknowledging that the screams of burning children is “not a pleasant sound.” Spoken like someone familiar with the screams of burning children.

Lol, if this is the case, the writers will have torn a hole in the fabric of stupidity/time.

Even though Dany is a true idiot in using the world's only living flying helicopter gunships, how did Euron and company get so good at shooting moving targets with a ballista from a range of at least a mile when there was literally no way for them to practice?

why didn’t they simply crossbow amelia clarke and her other dragon when they were right there at the gate that’s what I would have done to win the game of thrones

I liked this episode. Since the seasons overtook the books the show has gone to sketch pad mode but at least yesterday moved events on. Tbh when they announced the last two seasons episodes the butthurts should have read the runes and started rereading the books from the beginning again.
― lefal junglist platton (wtev), Monday, 6 May 2019 12:14 (five years ago) link
Question for those that follow cable politics. Expensive or no, this show is obviously a huge success and moneymaker for HBO. Few of the actors seem to have much else going on. What's the big hurry? Why burn through the books so fast, why truncate the final season? From what I've read of the plot this season is like they were suddenly given a hard deadline and told to wrap it up ASAP, just hurtling forward, everything be damned.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 6 May 2019 12:15 (five years ago) link
How is it that “butthurt” has entered into usage for any situation involving a “dissatisfied consumer”
― flamboyant goon tie included, Monday, 6 May 2019 12:18 (five years ago) link
surely the actors' contracts run out after this season (and should have run out earlier, but HBO broke the last season into two chunks) and if there were to be a 9th season the main player would demand steep raises. Better to just start making prequels with unknowns from HBO's biz standpoint.

Xp, i think the cast was a) ready to move on, b) starting to age out, c)demanding more moneySo they’ll reboot x 3 and hope the magic sticks to at least one

when the main talking point afterwards is "how did no one in filming, editing, or any other stage of post-production notice the starbucks cup in the shot" you know you made a great episode of television
― Simon H., Monday, 6 May 2019 12:47 (five years ago) link
don't know where you're looking but the main thing I see people talking about is OMG OMG Jaime and Brienne OMG OMG
― We were never Breeting Borting (President Keyes), Monday, 6 May 2019 12:56 (five years ago) link
Maybe that is not a Starbucks cup. Maybe that is a Velndarimenian Goblet, used by House Velndarimenian as a means to bolster goodwill and energy during the great conflicts of the Time of Sleep, when the land was beset by a wave of sudden births and everyone was operating on little rest. It was said that on days when the clouds and gloom were so oppressive that the exhausted people could barely operate, the Velndarimenian Goblet could make the sun come out and boil off the fog and haze, sending soldiers into battle with a burst of new energy, raining death and destruction on their enemies with a relentless supernatural power balanced by the weight of a curse: once imbibed, liquid from the Velndarimenian Goblet must be constantly refilled and consumed, lest the magic dissipate and a dark mood descend back upon the land.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 6 May 2019 12:58 (five years ago) link
That's a terrible post but it's still better than last night's episode
― flamboyant goon tie included, Monday, 6 May 2019 13:05 (five years ago) link
Starbucks cup obviously a symbol that if both sides of the battle for the Iron Throne are too extreme then a hero of moderation will come in as a third party contender for the crown
― We were never Breeting Borting (President Keyes), Monday, 6 May 2019 13:07 (five years ago) link
There were so many narrative inconsistencies and logical nonsense but the weirdest and most dissonant thing about last night's episode, for me, was that since S1 there's been a decidedly unique feature of this show, and that was simply that both the characters and the showrunners themselves valued the lives of their characters less than I did as a viewer. This episode upended that. The camera was lingering on Edd's face and (endlessly) on Jorah's face, a new plot point hinged around a hostage situation involving.. Dany's translator? I was looking at the screen, like, "you do realize that it wasn't that long ago that this show unceremoniously exploded four of its main characters without hesitation or eulogy"
― flamboyant goon tie included, Monday, 6 May 2019 13:14 (five years ago) link
was I the only one who was very confused as to where the Cersei showdown was meant to be taking place
